    Amazon founder Jeff Bezos believes that artificial intelligence is going to lead to unprecedented productivity gains which could result in […] two income households deciding that they no longer need two incomes.

    As if he’d ever let that happen.

      Your dream is realized Jeff! Just slightly different. My wife got laid off, so congrats, we’re a single income household.

      because if we’ve learned one thing about Bezos and his pals is that they will be sooo happy to share any additional profits with their employees!
